THE NEW WHIG PARTY.
We, weTe. sadly disappointed in
the proceedings, last Tuesday, of
Messrs. Longstreet, Norcross & Co’s
white. «o(m> party. From their
bold, outspoken address we thought
it the intention of the inaugurators
to stand aloof from the negro and
build u a new political ' organiza
tion composed of the intelligence
and respectability, of the country.
But alas! this grand departure de
velops into nothing but the discon
tented growling of a minority wing
of the'radical party. .Upon cool
reflection, the leaders discovered
that discretion was the better part
of valor, and wound up by humbly
apologizing to Cuffeefor the reflec
tion their address cast upon bis
character and patriotism. They
meekly bowed at the throne of re
publicanism, atid fell down and
worshipped President Arthur, at
whose disposition yet remains the
flesh-pots of oflice. We watched
with great interest this new party,
and for once thought that perhaps
something good could come out of
Nazareth. But we are now con
vinced that Ephraim is joined to his
idol, and if a white man’s party is
ever organized in the South it must
be within the fold of democracy.
Any proposed split in the republi
can ranks South is but a temporary
snarling over some bone, that will
eventually end in a social equality
wallow in the old republican mud-
hole. We have always entertained
a high regard for Gen. Longstreet,
and look upon him as an honest and
incorruptible man, and believe that
it was his intention to organize a
party on the basis of the address;
but the old General found himself in
a hopeless minority, and a meeting
that promised such a wonderful re
form developed into a most igno-
mineous back-down.
MR. TILDEN'S HEALTH.
Within the last few days such
gloomy reports reach us of Mjj. Til-
den’s physical condition, that we
are forced to confess that we be-
live him incapacitated to make the
race, and that the democracy had
as well look around for another
standard-bearer. Mr. Hewett says
the old man must be fed with a
spoon, and is in a most helpless
condition. To nominate Mr. Tilden
would be, it seems to us, courting
defeat. We must have an active
and vigorous leader, and not one
totte ring on e brink of the grave.
We still believe Mr. Tilden is the
strongest man in our ranks, but it
would be political murder and par
ty suicide to force a man in his con
dition to enter a heated campaign
If the reports of Mr. Tilden’s health,
as given by his friends, are true,
even it elected he would not live to
take his seat. It is with regret that
we give him up; but see no wisdom
in combating a vigorous party with
a corpse for our nominee. Our
next choice for the Presidency is
Bayard, the grandest statesman and
most incorruptible patriot in our
Union. We believe that his norm
nation is equivalent to a democratic,
triumph. It is well enough to send
our delegation instructed to vote
for Mr. Tilden if he is physically
able to make the campaign, Jbut if,
after consultation, it is found that
he is in as bad a condition as his
friends affirm, then let him spend
the remainder of his days in peace
and quiet.
THE FEDERAL MURDERS.
The removal of Federal prisoners
in the Atlanta jail, who had the
measles, has led to a controversy in
which Gen. Longstreet, the mar
shal, and Emory Speer, district at
torney, are the principal parties
concerned. One of the removed
prisoners, Terrell Smith, died after
removal. Gen. Longstreet address
ed a letter to Dr. Auten, physician
to the jail, asking him by whose au
thority the prisoners were removed,
whether it was a prudent step to
remove prisoners with the measles,
especially at night, and what was
the probable cau$e of the death of
Terrell Smith? Dr. Dr. Auten re
plied that the order for removal
was given by Attorney Speer, sanc
tioned by Judge McCay; that the
prisoners were removed in the
night; that in his opinion it was ex
tremely dangerous to remove pris-
sons in the second stage of measles,
and he would not have dared to
take such _ risk, also thatjhe has
been informed that Dr. Cooper told
Dr. Howell that fif Smith was re
moved it would kill him. Drs.
Westmoreland and Howell were
the physicians to- whose care .the
prisoners were committed ty
Speer’s order., 1 . '
Bob Ingorsoll evidently believes
iri hell now. He has been defeated
by a nigger, for the position of dele
gate to the'Cfcicago convention;and
if that ain’t a slight touch of hades
we are not,cohversant with the his*
tory of the place.
'Several of Georgia’s old broken-

• content. , '

CENSURIIIQ OUR CITY FATHERS.
A lady correspondent in our yes
terday’s issue is quite severe on the
city council of Athens for neglect
ing to make an appropriation to
ward the observance of memorial
day. We beg leave to differ with
“A Southern Lady,” and to assure
her that she, unintentionally no
doubt, does these worthy gentle
men an injustice in indirectly a ecus
ing them of forgeting our dead
heroes. In the first place, it is en
tirely beyond the province of a mu
nicipal corporation to grant finan
cial aid in such matters, and we
have never heard of a city so doing.
Again, we do not see where any
money is necessary in such a work
of love, or where there is a place to
expend it. Surely, our private citi
zens will contribute all that is nec
essary to make this hallowed occa
sion a success, without any reward
save the satisfaction that such an
act would give. As to employing
a brass band on, such a solemn mis
sion, to us it seems entirely out of
place. This should not be made 1
day of pomp and display, but a hal
lowed occasion, to be observed in a
quiet manner. The most touching
tribute that can be bestowed upon
our fallen braves is that their mounds
may be decked with the first floral
offerings of spring, by the hands-of
the fair daughters of our southland.
Could the spirits of the boys who
wore the grey hover over this
scene, we feel assured that- such a
tribute would be far more gratifying
than display and martial music.
This day should be one of sorrow to
our people, and everything thrown
around the occasion that can add to
its solemnity. We must not forget
that we are a conquered people,
and the humble mounds contain the
ashes of southern heroes, who gave
their lives a “Lost Cause.” Let the
other side have its music and par
ade,but this day,of all others, should
our people observe in a manner befit
ting the history of the men who
battled under the star and bars.
Let our fair daughters, silently and
sadly, repair to this hallowed spot,-
and with their own hands bedeck
with the choicest flowers the mounds
of those valliant heroes. It is the
tenderest and most appropriate tri
bute that they can pay.
PANIELSVILLE DOINGS.
Danibleyillb, April 11.—Mr.
Abner Strickland, nearly 85 years
of age, was buried at Jones’ chapel
yesterday.. He was as well as usual
out walking, and was found dead
about too yards from his bouse.
Nine deaths, have occurred in that
vicinity since about the middle of
June. , r -
Geo. Long, the negro who was
chained in jail Monday, having re
ceived several shot before surren
dering to his captors, yesterday had
succeeded in breaking his shackles’
making a hole in the floot, tunnel
ing to the wall and was just wait
ing on night to make good bis sec
ond escape from this tail. Another
negro, Howard Teaaley, who was
bailed out, gave away George s lit
tle plans, and the jailer removed
George to the hallway. The jailer
proposes to try chains—bigger
chains—but George says; that is all
nonsense, for he, the said George,
is coming out, no matter how many
chains are used, and when be gets
out he will kill that negro who rau-i
ed his plans to be thwarted.
Mad dogs are still on the ram
page. Several have been killed in
the country recently.
The educational biU that passed
the United States senate, appropri
ating seven miUions of dollars an
nually, for ten years, from the pub
lic funds, for the education of the
masses, to be distributed through
the states according to illiteracy, is
one of the most surprising measures
ever undertaken by any govern-
ernment. It yet lacks a good deal
of becoming a law. Forjonce we
think Uncle Sam has bitten off a
a bigger piece than he can chew.
But the most surprising thing we
see about the passage of this bill is
that it was carried by the votes of
democratic senators, while the
greater amount of the appropriation
will go towards the education of
the negroes. If we mistakejnot,
the brother in black looks upon a
democrat as his natural and sworn
enemy, and here we see republi
cans cojnbatting a measure for his
advancement, while the democrats
are voting almost as a unit for the
same. Notwithstanding this bill
is clearly unconstitutional and
founded on no. sense of right or
justice, Senator Brown, of Georgia,
made a telling argument in its fa
vor, the inconsistency of which
blendid beautifully with his late
Mormon address, when he opposed
a bill to suppress this social evil on
veTy near the same ground that he
now urges the gutting of the na
tional treasury. Whether this flop-
over by the Senator was to win the
negro to our party, or in accord
ance with his declaration of“aI
ways in for the old flag and an ap
propriation,” is a conundrum we
are not prepared to solve. If the
former motive actuated Senator
Brown and his democratic conferres
we will say that our party has
no desire to add such recruits to its
ranks. If the latter adage prompts
him, the Senator should remember
that the South would like to have
her appropriations expended in a
different manner than educating
negroes. We need more public
buildings, our streams cleaned out
and other works of great general
importance. This appropriation
will be charged up to the account of
the South, and if it passes,
our industries will be
kept strangled for ten years whiic
the North will be using her share
of the public funds in developing
her resources. If it is distinctly un
derstood that the republican states
the so-called lriends of the negro
—are to furnish this money, then
we have naught to say; but if it is to
be put on the balance sheet as a
contribution to the South, and used
to offset further material public as
sistance in this section, then say we,
let the negro educate himself or
grow up in illiteracy. And by the
way, we think that Uncle Sam had
better be just before he is generous.
Would it not be better to take this
$70,000,000 and pay the Southern
States an installment upon the
slaves stolen from them, than to use
it in the education of this confiscat
ed property? The cash in hand,
paid to the former slave-owers,
would do the South and the negroes
far more good than any little smat
tering of book learning that can be
pounded into their .skulls. We
think the emancipation of these serfs
and taking them under the protect
ing wing of the general govern
ment for twenty years, is sufficient,
without a further taxation of the
country in a Quixotic attempt to
educate them. And even if our
law-makers did succeed in their
fondest dreams of advancement,
and made a ripe scholar of every
negro in the South, we would ask
where will our laborers come from?
Experiment has demonstrated the
fact that when you educate a negro
you that day retire him from the
field,the only sphere,that he wasde
signed by a Creator to occupy. You
elevate him to a place that he is not
worthy to fill, and instead of making
him a happier man or a better citi
zen, you make him a discontented
laborei and an incendiary. If this
measure passes the House and be
comes a law, you will, in ten years
or less, see tliisjcountry deluged in
blood, for the history of the world
shows that two distinct races’cannot
occupy the same territory and live
under the same laws in peace. So
long as the African is kept in his
place, and is but the hewer of wood
and the drawer of water for the
Caucassian, he can be controlled;
but try to elevate him to an equal
ity with his former master, and you
that day sow the seeds of insurrec
tion and strife. Every Southern
Senator, when he voted for this
outrageous measure, betrayed his
party and his people, and is not
worthy of their further support
We believe that it was nothing in
the world but an electioneering
dodge, and an infamous parody on
right, justice and the constitution.
We look to our members in the
lower house to protect the South
against this onslaught upon her
progress.* We need every dollar
that can be drawn from the govern
ment to develop our section, and not
to educate our only labor above the
corn and cotton field. If the North
ern philanthropists, from their own
private purses, see fit to give seven
ty millions, or even seventy billions,
of money toward the education of
the illiterate in the South, well and
good; but we Bo protest against the
Southern States having any such
credits placed on the wrong side of
the balance sheet at the National
treasury.
We have had two white frosts,

Farmers are working harder, and

YANKEE ENTERPRISE.
HYDROPHOBIA.
A Lady Bitten by a Dog Expires After Hoars ot
• Terrible Agony.
About a two months ago, says a
Danville (Va.) special to the New
York World, Mrs. Emily B. Mc
Lean, who lives near here, heard a
nojse on the porch of her house. She
went out to ascertain the cause, and
was bitten twice on the arm by
small dog. The usual remedies
were applied, but a day or two ago
the symptoms of hydrophobia ap
peared, and she soon went into con
vulsions, frothing at the mouth and
barking. When she rallied she
said to the physician 1 “For God’s
sake do something for me to relieve
this pain, as I will die.” The phy
sician applied all the remedies in
all hie power, and at last put her
under the influence of ether and
chloroform. He then left her.
Mrs. McLean slept quietly for
two hours, and on awakening arose,
and going to an organ played for
awhile. She then attempted to eat
something, which threw her into
convulsions, and when her physician
came she was so violent that it took
four men to hold her in bed. After
•everal hours of terrible agony she
expired. . In her lucid .intervals she
begged her friend to aiay away from
her, as the least movement ojr noise
threw her into goo?visions, Mr*.
McLean was an excellent musician,
having sung in church choirs in this
